Getting a Job

You might have used the classified ads, people you know, LinkedIn, or your connections with Uncle Leon to find your ideal job. You might've learned how to build furniture and then started your own business. An internship or apprenticeship might have jump-started your career. Sometimes it's simple; sometimes it's time-consuming and complex, but the process of finding and getting a job is really different for everybody.
